Payment Gateway Advice / Dropshipping Advice

Hey Guys:

First of all - a huge thank you to anyone who decides to comment and share some of their knowledge.

I started dropshipping a week ago selling vaporizers. My website used a PayPal checkout button to handle all payments. Fast-forward one week and I am permanently banned from PayPal(did not know vaporizers were a no-no for them) and now I am at a loss on how to handle my payments from here. (Don't worry - im not losing money by not having a checkout system up or anything, my site is not busy)

My questions are the following:

1. I don't have a business or LLC(I'm In Canada) - are there any payment gateways that will let me sign up without a business/tax ID? I have no problem proving my identity through SIN or Drivers License etc - but I am not a registered business.

2. I've heard about Payment Aggregators - is there any well known ones that you can recommend or should I stay away in general?

3. Should I just register a business? I know nothing about the process of registering a LLC in Canada - is this pretty easy to do? Can it be done online? And most importantly how long does it take to do? 1 month? I feel like registering a business is the right move here - so please let me know.

Thanks BHW <3

Hi, to register a company is not the Issue here, most credit card acquirer would decline your business. First try to find a working solution for payment processing.

Take a look into Stripe program for Startups.
Stripe Atlas incorporates your new company in Delaware.

Hope it helps

Stripe is great
Stripe atlas is a easy way to incorporate in USA (high tax)

but Google: stripe prohibited businesses, means this will not work for OP
